sin/cos/tan of 30°, 45°, 60°
You will frequently encounter angles of 30°, 60°, 45° in geometric problems. Why?
We see these angles in equilateral triangles
? and half squares.
Although you will always have a calculator, you need to know how to derive these.
All you need to remember:
Draw half a unit square and half an equilateral triangle of side 2.

The Unit Circle and Trigonometry
The easiest way to remember whether sin 𝑥 , cos 𝑥 , tan 𝑥 are positive or negative is to
just do a very quick sketch of the corresponding graph.
𝑦 positive
for 0 < 𝑥 < 180°
𝑦 = sin 𝑥

• In pairs, complete the questions on the big whiteboards.
• Scroll to worksheet D. Do Q7-11
• Don’t rub out the question until I have checked it.
Example 1:
On the same set of axes, sketch the graphs of the following on the interval 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 360
𝑦 = sin(𝑥) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = sin(𝑥 + 45)
Example 2:
On the same set of axes, sketch the graphs of the following on the interval −180 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 180
𝑦 = cos 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = −2cos 𝑥
